Water aerobics
Migdalia O.

I go here to swim sometimes. I complained that they need adult/senior Aerobics classes. They need to replace the lockers which are old. The hooks by the pool need to be replaced some have fallen out. The pool is a great place to swim in a great location in my neighborhood. I travel to another pool in Manhattan to learn to swim and do my water aerobics class. Not fair

The center, as seen from Bedford and Metropolian Ave.

Great place, to weight train in weight room, swim in pool, or practice personal stretching, or plyometrics, and calisthenics in gymnasium.

[This review is specifically for their downtown Brooklyn location]…read more This gym does not provide a safe environment for women. In the locker room, there are chairs directly facing the changing area. This invites patrons to sit on the couch, with phones in their face, directly facing members who are changing. Three separate times I have turned around, while unclothed, and seen members using phones that are pointing directly at me (including being on FaceTime). While most members would put their phone when asked, some won't, claiming that photography is not allowed, but phone usage is permitted. To be clear: A person holding a phone up in a locker room creates a reasonable fear of recording, regardless of what they claim to be doing. This is such an egregious violation of privacy, and honestly displays a lack of common sense from management. Further, it should not be the job of members to police one another; it should be the job of management to provide a safe place for changing before and after workouts. Management has so far ignored my messages about this complete lack of respect for privacy.

Loved this place! I lived in NYC for a little over a year from 2022-2023 and was an Equinox member…read moreuntil I moved to somewhere where EQX didn't have a location. I visit NYC every so often for business trips, and have always struggled to find a gym I like that supports guest passes. I can happily say my search is finally over -- I'll definitely be coming back to GYM NYC every time I'm visiting the city! They sell 1-week passes for about $170, and day passes for $40. For me, it worked out better to get 4 day passes compared to the 1-week pass, but for those who would be visiting for a week and need to go 5+ sessions, that 1-week pass would be for you. Compared to EQX, the gym is way less crowded (even though it's smaller) and has all the equipment you need! The equipment is modern and plentiful: there are 2 flat bench press setups, one incline bench press, 3 deadlift platforms, and 4 squat racks. For accessory work there's also 3 adjustable flat benches and plenty of dumbbells. I usually go around 7am, which gets pretty crowded at EQX -- but this morning even by 7:30 there were still only a few other people in the gym. Amazing!

This is my happy place, a sanctuary of health and wellness, an adult playground I just love this…read moreplace. I joined this gym in January and its the best investment I've made this year, im a shitty day trader so thats not saying much. The Yoga studios are so peaceful and the instructors are all masters. Notably Jason Morris hot yoga classes are energizing and therapeutic, he is such a Guru Ive learned so much about anatomy and making a mind body connection that it spills over into weight training. Luliias voice is so soothing and her classes are so fun, the Friday class specially feels like everyone is connected Gigis class is super cool on Sundays it should be renamed Juicy Yoga with Gigi lol, shes so funny and connects with everyone, the class feels like cuddles after sex. Spin with Juggy and Melora is elite. Ive gotten so much faster in my road bike after just a few classes. Functional training with Nyerre Mays is un-unreal. He is such a cool dude and such a Pro. The pool is epic, the Jacuzzi forget about it. The entire staff is super friendly and makes everyone feel super welcomed. I truly feel at home whenever I make it to the gym. The MVPs of the gym are the cleaning staff though, everything is so spotless all the time. In a city so chaotic is nice to have this peaceful oasis.

The moment the music starts, her energy completely transforms the room and instantly boosts everyone's mood. I started going every Thursday leading up to my wedding, and it quickly became the best part of my week. It helped me release so much wedding planning stress in the most fun way. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I left feeling lighter, happier, and more like myself again. And even after the wedding, I'm still going. That says everything. Her choreography is creative and perfectly synced to the music. The routines are challenging enough to make you sweat, but still easy to follow so you can truly enjoy yourself and let go. You can tell she puts real thought and effort into every single class. What really sets her apart is how motivating and uplifting she is. She creates such a welcoming environment and makes everyone feel confident, no matter their experience level. You walk out feeling accomplished, energized, and already excited for the next class. She teaches every Thursday at 7:15 pm at Complete Body Midtown East, and I truly can't recommend her enough. She also teaches at other locations, so definitely check her out!
